Life insurance

Hi. I have been looking for some kind of life insurance or similar. With all my medical conditions, no company will insure me. Does anyone have any ideas or alternative options, please?

How old are you? I know this is an odd question but cardiac patients are poor risks from an insurance perspective so most companies will not touch you. However there are a number of companies offering over 55 insurance who guarantee to accept you. They are not necessarily great value but they maybe your best option - hence the age question! Alternatively, find a good insurance broker to see if they can come up with something.

Ok, then a good insurance broker is likely your best option.

You need to talk with a few brokers. When I wanted life insurance for a mortgage (Type I diabetes) The Pru, the Halifax, etc. came up with very loaded premiums or refusal. broker got me normal terms. Go face-to-face with them as online will waste hours and on the phone you may get an inexperienced office junior.
